This Scenic Train Ride Is The Perfect Way To Enjoy The Oklahoma Countryside

There is a passenger excursion train that will take you on a 2-hour ride in southwest Oklahoma that’s unlike anything else in the state. The 2019 schedule will be announced shortly, and because dates sell out quickly, you’ll want to buy your tickets as soon as possible.
